Bahco51-30 Bow Saw Blade, 30-Inch, Dry Wood

Seems like I’m always saying “quality” for wats important..🤦‍♀️ But it is..there is so much, so much out there to choose from & names I don’t even kno or can even pronounce..one of those may even be th best..who knows? I certainly don’t..I do kno this is a good, quality blade, as is th saw..purchased this as a switch-out on th Bahco bow saw, so I’d have a blade for green wood, which it came w, & for dry wood, which I use wen out in th field..& at home also..a very good bow saw & very good blades..now I feel “complete”, in this area of my life anyway..all organized & prepared..now I can move on to another area of my life that needs a resolve..lolWish/hope for it to be this easy..🤗

Cuts very well. I prefer a blade designed for dry wood for cutting firewood while camping. The typical bowsaw blade is a green wood design, suitable for pruning, and cutting next years firewood.I got this for a folding bucksaw that I built. On a recent camping trip it handled four inch hard maple with ease--better than expected--and also was very efficient with small thumb size sticks (which I did not expect).

Short for specific saw and it works fine

Blade is great and works perfect but don’t let the delivery person leave in your mailbox. They put mine in the mail box and did not fit because the package is to long so they decided to bend the package completely in half and bent the blade 😂

Ended up cutting several major branches down over the weekend. Somewhere around 6" -8" diameter pieces. Tried out these new blades and while they worked well, I can already see that the thinner metal will not last as long as expected compared to the blades that came with my 21" boreal bow saw.They fit well and had no issues besides the thinner gauge metal.

I grew up in a household with a bow saw and a hacksaw, and I've always thought it was a bit silly to have both. They do effectively the exact same thing in the same way.I have a 12in Lenox Hacksaw, and I need to do some small woodwork jobs, so I bought this blade.Hacksaw blades don't have quite as much extra metal outside of their mounting holes, so I had to use my hacksaw blade to trim this wood blade.Now the blade mounts properly and comes under tension as expected. I'll update this review if there's a functional problem.

Cuts dry Black Walnut like butter. Does really well on other hardwoods and fruit woods. Stays sharp and cuts best under it's own weight and no extra force. I use it on a hacksaw frame with plenty of tension. Best saw blade that I have ever used.

A pleasure to use such a quality blade

I was looking to have a dry wood blade for fire wood option as well as the OEM blade that has raker teeth designed more for wet wood so have both bases coffered for wild camping. I can confirm that this blade DOES FIT the Gerber saw with no real issues. The only issue is as it is not rounded at the ends it can leave a bit of a sharp point sticking out when folded. This is easily rectified with a metal file however and a few minutes. Maybe do it while sitting around a nice camp fire. :-)As for quality of cutting I have not used this blade yet as not allowed outside due to lock down but having previously worked as a conservation volunteer leader doing many conservation activities including a lot of rhododendron and laurel bashing Bacho blades were always a go to so can confirm they usually are of excellent quality. This is only true though if the right blade is used for the right wood and these blades on dry seasoned wood (been dead for 1 year +) are perfect but will struggle if using on fresh or still living "green' wood. Hope this helps.As a side for people who want option of metal blade "just in case needed' I have also purchased the bacho scandiflex 300 blades and although the holes are too small initially to fit the screw through, a couple of minutes with a drill (or possibly a round metal file) also allows these to fit and takes up no extra weight. :-)

These are good, accurately made, bowsaw blades suitable mainly for dry wood although they do work on fairly wet wood too. The teeth are inclined to lose their 'set' before coming unuseably blunt making it hard work to get the blade through the material. They nevertheless last longer than any other make I've tried and cut truer than most. At an add-on item, they are excellent value.

Cut through branches up to 30cm diam with minimal effort. Excellent product. But, on un-packaging, initially uncrtain if the saw was a new, unused item as covered in dust and very dirty. When cleaned it apeared new and certainly does the job. Many thanks.

Bought by mistake. I wanted the 30inch blade. I then had to buy the 36 inch saw and both the saw and blade are excellent. A bit big sometimes for pruning but I also have the small saw.
